Hey dudes! Just a quick update to say we’ve only invited 50 so far. We have a big list to work through and are definitely inviting more! We’re doing it in batches for a lot of reasons, I will explain in a Notes post later today!

Guys, is there any non public forum where we can talk with each other during the testing of this site? I do understand we can not go to public, but at least it would be nice to share our experience and talk with the other.

We’re launching lean so we can focus on the core experience of Microlancer. Community features will be scoped after launch. You’re welcome to connect with other service providers on the Facebook page or on Twitter. Just avoid posting screenshots and if you have feedback, use the contact page

We all know what happened to years of feedbacks added to marketplaces; Most obvious interface features are ignored until now. We all got familar with words “pipeline” and “hiring” while requesting obvious features.

So when you guys go for a new venture, again there is a need for feedback from community. From looking at the past, all you people want is community – not actually feedback.

We are really serious about all the feedback we’re getting in the beta here. And ongoing Microlancer will be developed heavily based on community feedback. One of the benefits of starting a new product, means we can iterate quickly and not have legacy issues to worry about. Envato is what it is because of its community and we always make decisions with that in mind. We’re not forgetting that with Microlancer. You’ll believe it when you see it!

Just got my beta invite, was perusing through the FAQ and noticed the pay schedule is different from all the other marketplaces instead of getting paid on the 15th its the 28th?! Why is this?
